Title: Exbor Vase - Ladislav Oliva ?? Is this attribution correct ?? Help Please
Post by: obscurities on May 20, 2009, 11:03:55 PM
Again, an auction purchase off of ebay years back that I have found an attribution for, but I do not know the source or their accuracy. I have found works in similar styles attributed to this artist, but nothing just the same. Can anyone confirm or deny the attribution as being Ladislav Oliva. I have also found both a Ladislav Oliva Sr and Jr. I believe the piece dates to the early 70's, and could use some help there also. It also has the Exbor acid stamp mark underside. It measures 7 inches wide, 5.25 high, and 2.75 inches deep.

TIA  Craig

Absolutely correct, (sorry M and Jindrich, cos I do know this one), but this is an iconic Oliva Snr. design for Exbor.
Beautiful!

Jindrich,

You can certainly use this picture, but if you would like to send me an email directly by using the email icon I will take a couple of nicer pictures and send them directly to you. This was just a quick one I took laying it on the couch..... I have an area I recently set up in my garage to photograph glass as I am starting to photograph and catalogue my collection because I am the only one in the family that really knows what is here.....  and although I have always tried to buy nice looking pieces I liked, it seems I may have some cooler stuff than I realized    ;D

I have always loved this vase, but did not realize the importance of the design. It was a very early ebay purchase for me.  I have continued to look for many years for another to come on similar to it, but so far have not seen one.

I have another Exbor  piece I will put up in a while that I have seen two different attributions for, so I can find out which one it is.

Thank you Craig,
I will appreciate all pictures of post-war Czechoslovakian glass you can supply to me - attributed or not attributed. I will sort it.

I am assuming Post WWII, not WWI.  Is that correct?

Of course, Craig

Czech historical calendar is as follows:

- before WWI we were Austria
- than followed pre-war 1st  Czechoslovak republic
- 1918 -1938, 2nd cutailled (border reagions felt to Germany) Czecho-Slovak republic -  November 1938   - March 1939
- Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia + separate Slovak state 1939 -1945
----------------
- Czechoslovak republic 1945 - 1961 (after 1948 under the communist leading and Russian control)
- Czechoslovak socialistic republic 1961 - 1990 (in 1968 was officialy declared federation Czech and Slovak republic - but ruled communists)
- Czech and Slovak federal republic - 1990 - 1992 (Havel's state)
----------------
- Czech republic - 1993 - 2009
- European union  2010  - ????
 (after signing Lisboa agreement small countries are lost. But I am optimistic - we destroyed Austria - we will destroy EU as well  >:D)


I am interesting in glass between two lines - 1945 - 1992

Jindrich,

Please send me your email address so I can send you images... I will try to take them today.....  I believe I have 5 pieces total which will fit your time frame, the three I have posted (Barolac 12111, Oliva, Lipsky), and two vases by Pavel Hlava.....  I will walk through the house and double check though.... Most of my "Czech" glass is 1900-1930's.
